The description for our internship position has been updated. We are looking for a student who likes to do an internship or Master's project at Philips Research Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The assignment includes design and validation of (XML) description formats to describe haptic stimuli and effects. The description includes effect patterns (i.e. changing over time and space) and location of where these impact the human body.

The Metaverse1 project will provide: a standardized global framework enabling the interoperability between Virtual worlds (as for example Second Life, World of Warcraft, IMVU, Active Worlds, Google Earth and many others) and the Real world (sensors, actuators, vision and rendering, social and welfare systems, banking, insurance, travel, real estate and many others).
